Summary:
"International law is usually conservative, with lawyers and judges emphasizing consistency, stability and predictability as the major advantages of the law. Even legal scholars often do not dare to challenge the status quo, to suggest adopting new and even amending current laws, advocating just to focus on the implementation of what already exists. This collection stands different. It shares the authors' discomfort with the present legal order and some of its institutions and courts, and dives into either a corrective or a profound reimagination of these, so that they can better address rising global challenges. Leading experts in their areas present their new and cutting-edge perspectives. Divided into six parts, the volume paints a vast yet solid thematic landscape of unique and critical approaches. The book invites and allows for a deep engagement with a wide range of opinions from across the world. It enables a free and courageous re-imagining of the international legal order, detached from the endless feasibility skepticism. The work will be fascinating reading for students, academics and researchers working in the areas of International Law and International Relations"-- Provided by publisher.
